<p><strong>Note:</strong> To complete the procedures in this

<p>Folders are a useful way to organize your Resources area, and make
it easier for site participants to find the items they need.</p>

<h4>Creating new folders</h4>

<p>By default, your Resources area has one folder in it, named after
your course or <a href="content.hlp?docId=ardt">project site</a>. To add a subfolder, follow
these steps:</p>

<ol><li>Next to the existing folder, from the <strong><code>Add</code></strong> menu, choose
<strong><code>Create Folders</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>Next to "Folder Name", enter a title for your folder.

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Avoid using unsupported characters in folder
titles; see <a href="content.hlp?docId=auze">Unsupported characters</a>.</p>
</li><li> To add a description and control who can access the contents of
the folder, click <strong><code>Add details for this item</code></strong>. For more
information, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=audh">Changing the permissions for a folder in Resources</a>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>To create another folder, click <strong><code>Add Another Folder</code></strong>.

<p><strong>Note:</strong> To remove a folder from the list of folders
to add, click the red <strong><code>X</code></strong> next to it.</p>
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Create Folders Now</code></strong>.
</li></ol>

<h4>Editing a folder</h4>

<p>To edit the name, description, or availability and access settings
for a folder, mouse over <strong><code>Actions</code></strong>, and click <strong><code>Revise
Details</code></strong>. Make your changes, and then click <strong><code>Update</code></strong> to
save them.</p>

<h4>Reordering folder contents</h4>
